hi techguy,

I recommend you to run an inventory and then perform a quick erase of all the new tapes before using them. Then those tapes won't be shown as bad media. Even for a problem in the media drive or for really a problem of the tape, this issue may occurs. But in this case, problem is tapes being new ones as you say. Hope this helps

---Cheers
